Hi, Michael

How about trying to set

...
user='foobar'
group='foobar'
...
vnc_allow_host_audio = 1
...

in the "/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf" file.

I'm using fedora14 as a KVM host and
running Windows XP guest and
this solved the sound problem.

Please refer to the folloing for details.

I'm running a RHEL6 as a development desktop with Fedora 14 (multimedia stuff) 
and Win XP (corporate email and calendars) running on it as KVM VMs. Everything 
runs great except for audio pass through.

Audio works on the RHEL host. Both VMs see sound cards provided by the VM, but 
no sound is forthcoming.
I have tried adding a PCI audio device from the physical host to the Fedora VM, 
but then it refuses to boot.
I remember reading that physical hardware can only be passed through to VMs if 
it is not in use on the physical host.

Any suggestions on how to get audio pass through happening?
How can I get the host to "relinquish" the audio device so that a VM can use it?

Thanks
